Robert

In reply to Bro Robert Meek W.J.W. Lodge Oatlands Glasgow 1005.
James Meek, Iron Turner age 25, and Robert Meek, Plumber age 23,both were initiated on the 26th Oct 1899, passed the 9th Nov, raised the 23rd Nov in Callon St Halls Airdrie.
When Robert was Installed in 1906 both resided at 171 Chapel St Airdrie, the installation took place in the Albion Hall Airdrie.
The ages of the two PM, and both residing at the same address may suggest that they were brothers ?

Admin reply: Thanks Ian for obtaining information for Bro. Meek, he certainly appreciated your assistance.

Warm fraternal greetings from all at The Lodge of Brotherly Love No1428 in Edinburgh.

Congratulations to all involved in setting up and maintaining your new website - it's an excellent resource for your Brethren and visitors.

I found out about it by Kenny Dalzell singing it's praises on a masonic facebook group and thought I'd pop in. Definitely worth the visit!

I'm delighted that you've swapped links to 1428's website. Hopefully more Lodges will swap with you and make this site more widely known. It certainly deserves it.

All the best to 88 in the west, from the wise men in the east :!devil:

Greeting Brother's all

From Heritage Lodge # 369, Western Australia Constitution of Freemasonry.

Welcome all,
As the new Right Worshipful Master of Lodge New Monkland Montrose No. 88 I welcome each and every visitor.
I am exrtremely grateful to Immediate Past Master Bro. Bobby Gaines and Bro. Almoner Ian McIndoe for the great work and dedication they have committed themselves to over the past months, in making this web-site possible.
Had it not been for their tenacity, this web-site would not have been possible.
I look forward to visiting as many Lodges as I can in my year in office and hope that as many as possible will visit us.
I would ask every visitor to introduce themselves to me and I, as will the Lodge members, make them most welcome.
Fraternally Yours

Iain Keltie R.W.M.

Congratulation to the Lodge on getting their web site up and running. It is clearly laid out, has a lot of good information about the Lodge and other links. I will be back on the site and hope to visit the Lodge in the New Year.

Keep up the good work
